I'm contending again he wasn't elected, he was selected. All of this is totally fucking insane. I feel like I'm living in backwards bizarroland.

it's really effed up isn't it??? But I think there will be a lot of infighting occurring Musk, Maga, Tech Bros, JD Vance and his handlers like Peter Thiel, and Vivek. Plus the felon's health is going to be a major concern, he's old.

she was aiming at TSF. She stressed Carter's goodness, how he didn't think of himself, but of others, how he strived to make the world better and more peaceful. How he grew up poor, but worked to make the country better for poor people. She had a serious expression -- but thought I saw a bit of twinkle in her eye.

her too, and I kept thinking to myself, she should have been President. Bless President Carter, he was looking into the future regarding the environment and climate change. He was a remarkable man. Came from humble beginnings.

28. More than that: Culture, Money, Propaganda: Russia's Approach Toward Greenland and the Faroe Islands
Tue Jan 7, 2025, 08:20 PM

https://jamestown.org/program/culture-money-propaganda-russias-approach-toward-greenland-and-the-faroe-islands/

To carry out its grand strategy in the Arctic, Russia relies on eroding the positions of other regional players. Denmark, a fellow member of the Arctic Council, is seen by Moscow as a relatively easy target, since Copenhagen can only remain an official stakeholder as long as it maintains control over Greenland and the Faroe Islands (FI). In his 2010 book, Battle for the Arctic, Artur Indzhiev argues that “Greenland and the Faroe Islands could scramble the West’s plans in its struggle for Arctic resources… This could be used by Russia to obtain possession of Arctic treasures and deliver a blow to the unity of NATO [the North Atlantic Treaty Organization—of which Denmark is a member]…” Specifically he recommends that “Russia has to use the mounting tensions [between Denmark and its Arctic possessions] for its [Moscow’s] own benefit… [by weakening] the Danish claims. Second, we will pay them [the West] back in kind for their anti-Russian policy and support of the Chechen separatists [sic].”

Russia’s actual policies vis-à-vis Greenland and the Faroe Island are, in fact, more elaborate and far-reaching than even Indzhiev’s recommendations. And they are presently based on the following three pillars:

Boy he's getting aggressive, against everyone
and everything.

He always was a snotty, mean little bastard,
but now he's a two-year old giant wanting
to rule the whole world.

Wait till the world strikes back... meaning,
when everything falls apart and people start
losing their money, getting sick, and dying...

Of course, if you are an oligarch you don't worry about prices. You arent going to die from not being able to afford a prescription.

Those who didn't vote for the asshole have my sympathy.

As I recall, he refused to receive national security briefings as a Pres. candidate. He's not President yet, and so it seems he still isn't receiving those briefings.

"Who will rid us of this evil?"

Panama and Denmark are not ripping off the US. We get something we need and want from them through negotiation. The only entity that is ripping off America is the billionaire club based in Mar-a-largo and led by Musk.
